East View currently offers a Chinese E-Book Approval Plan.

What is it?

East View’s eBook approval plan is similar to approval plans for print publications, but with the ease of online access.

How does it work?

Libraries complete a profile containing general parameters (country, language, formats of publications, special instructions, etc.) and subject parameters. E-books that fall within the profile and according to the designated budget are made accessible, at intervals determined by the library. Your institution receives discounts based upon the size of the approval plan.

With many years of experience in serving academic libraries with print materials, East View recognizes the importance of establishing precise, yet flexible parameters to ensure the best quality material and services. East View’s 2008 return rate for approval plans was less than 2%.

Selection and Coverage

Approval plan customers have a range of subject areas to choose from: from science to literature and linguistics, from geography to history, etc. East View seasoned book selectors are highly trained librarians and subject specialists with native Chinese knowledge.

Unmatched Value and Customer Service

Bibliographic records in USMARC format are supplied free of charge to approval plan customers upon request.

After receiving a library's profile, East View's approval plan account managers contact each client immediately to introduce themselves, verify profile receipt and to request any necessary clarifications. We strive to maintain an ongoing dialogue as we provide your library with the most relevant, timely approval plan materials. You will receive quarterly notifications which list new titles selected for you during this period.
